Comfort Features to Consider

While style is important, prioritise features that ensure all-day comfort:

  1. Cushioned insoles: Reduce shock and fatigue, especially when walking long distances.
  2. Breathable materials: Keep your feet cool and dry, preventing blisters and overheating.
  3. Good arch support: This is especially crucial for those with flat feet or plantar fasciitis.
  4. Lightweight construction: Pack lighter and avoid unnecessary weight in your luggage.
  5. Removable insoles: Allow for easy cleaning and customisation with orthotics if needed.
  6. Soft rubber outsoles: Ensures flexibility supporting your foot’s natural movement

Packing Essentials for Happy Feet

  1. Pack an extra pair of laces for your shoes.
  2. Invest in a good quality shoe deodoriser for long travel days.
  3. Carry a small travel brush to keep your shoes clean.
  4. Consider packing a pair of compression socks for long flights to improve circulation.
